Solution No.1 – Flush DNS Setting

There is always a DNS Client Service is running in every internet connected device who can translate the domain name into the corresponding IP address. Like, the domain name “www.deskdecode.com” might convert to“104.27.164.149”.

Solution No.2 – Changing DNS Setting

Normally the DNS server obtains service set’s on automatically in your computer and sometimes it may stop working with chrome and that’s why we need to change that setting by manually entering the DNS server IP.

We are using “Google Public DNS” server IP for our manual setup because it’s FREE Domain Name System service offered by Google and the best part is, it’s providing domain name resolution for all host’s on the Internet.

@To change DNS Server IP in your windows:

First, go to the “Network and Sharing center” and you can easily open it by pressing “Windows key + R key” and then type the command name “ncpa.cpl”on the commander and click “OK”.

When it gets opened, Click on the “Change adapter settings” option from the left-hand side panel.

In the “Use The Following DNS Server Addresses” type.

In the first area “8.8.8.8”.

In the second area ”8.8.4.4”.(As shown in the picture given below).

In some cases, the firewall blocks the Internet connection and disallows the computer to accessing the Internet. By disabling it can works most of the time.
